James:
Is your static IP address in the range of the router's DHCP
addresses? That won't work, because the computer, knowing that it
has a static IP, won't request a lease renewal, and after some
maximum amount of time, the DHCP server will try to force one.
What will happen in this case depends greatly on the software and
OS the computer is running, and on the behavior of the router. I'm
not a network guy, but I do know that unless your router is more
sophisticated than the average small-office router, static IP
addresses *MUST* be outside any range of DHCP addresses of your
router.
Thx, Phil Long

The computer will work in other ways but not with VNC. It's set as
static IP, so the router should be giving the same IP after the lease
times out.
